Betting on Benny (Mystic Nights #6 / Special Forces: Operation Alpha) by MJ Nightingale

 


Navy SEAL, Kason "Benny" Sawyer's family has exploded. A wife and three kids in just three years has him hopping, especially when he can be called away at a moment's notice to parts unknown. With the cost of his wife's new business, and repairs on the farm house mounting, his debts have him scrambling to make ends meet in his crazy, busy life. And that life is about to get crazier when he finds out Jessyka has entered him as a contestant on The Cook Off, cable TV's hottest new cooking show. The prize is 150,000 very tempting dollars. There's just one problem - the rivalry for the grand prize seems to be getting heated outside the kitchen as well. When strange accidents start happening at the casino in Mystic, CT where the show is being filmed, Benny's protective instincts are "kicked" into higher gear. Betting on Benny by MJ Nightingale was published in November 2016. This is book 6 in Mystic Nights series and apart of the Special Forces: Operation Alpha series. 

I love Benny and Jessyka in their own book in Susan Stoker's writing so I was iffy on how they were going to be written by MJ Nightingale book. But I was glad that I gave it a shot because she wrote them perfectly. Benny and Jessyka are still very well rounded with the same personalities that they had in the their own book. But this time they are older and have a little more history in their relationship. I loved how the two series intermingled in this book. Also how well the plot was in this book. It felt the plot flowed perfectly and everything had a reason. Even when you were inside the mind of the villain in the book. I loved how they were intermingling the plot with a cooking show. Also loved how Benny was teased by his fellow solider who were at home watching the show. I loved it and can't wait to read more books by MJ Nightingale.
